Honey Bees Need Water
To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly butter a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, sugar, and honey for 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat to incorporate. Add lemon juice and lemon zest.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to wet ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake about 1 hour or until cake tests done.
Remove from oven and cool on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, loosening sides with a knife if necessary. Continue cooling on rack.
